Unfortunately, trees/branches included in linux-next must be based on
something stable (usually Linus' tree, but it could be another
tree/branch that is included in linux-next that does not rebase).
Linux-next itself rebases every day, so snything based on it would drag
in a previous version of all the other trees :-(

That commit is from Andrew's patch series which also rebases (usually
at least every week), so you cannot depend on it.
